Enhanced capacity of partners
In 2007 War Child received financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enhance the capacity of local organisations. War Child supports local organisations to increase their capacity in six areas: human resources management, finances and administration, fundraising, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, ICT, logistics and security.
Support in drafting programme proposals and targets has also stimulated quality improvement of their programmes. In 2007, War Child invested a lot in the way capacity is enhanced and measured.

More collaboration
In 2007 War Child started more collaboration with big international organisations. With financial help from UNICEF, War Child trained personnel in refugee camps in The Democratic Republic of Congo and reintegrated former child soldiers in Northern Uganda. In 2008, the current programmes will be developed into more structural collaboration.

Education integral part of programmes
In 2006, War Child started non-formal education (literacy, accelerated primary education and vocational training) as part of the programmes. In 2007, War Child developed an organisation-wide educational policy. An expert on education also helped to give the educational programmes in The Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone more structure and content. Education is now part of the programme in most programme countries. New collaboration projects in this area was also developed in 2007, such as the Schokland Agreement (Project 2015) on education in conflict areas.
